"No, Jungkook, we're not adding custom waterslide into this house that leads into a 7 feet swimming pool."

"Why not?" Jungkook asked angrily, stomping his foot on the ground.

"Because we are stranded on a planet with no fuel to run our ship! What do you mean 'why not'?"

"Who's gonna stop us."

"That's not a valid response!"

"Jungkook! Hoseok! Shut up." Namjoon snapped, and Hoseok rolled his eyes, while Jungkook looked confused.

"We're gonna be here for a while, right? Why not make it fun?" Jungkook asked.

"Because being in the brink of death isn't 'fun', Jungkook. Not everything in life is fun. Sometimes it's serious, like right now. It's very serious right now." Namjoon scolded, and Jungkook looked down.

"Are Tae and Jin working to detect the volcanic levels of the planet?" Hoseok asked, and Namjoon nodded, looking back at the blueprint laid out in front of him. Hoseok then looked at Jungkook. "Why don't you go help them, Kook? I think Jimin and me are fine working on the house ourselves."

Jungkook looked at him with a small frown. "Tae and Jin left early so I don't think they need my help." Jungkook mumbled, and then saw Hoseok nod to his words and go up to Namjoon to discuss the house plans. So Jungkook sat down on the ground, bringing his knees to his chest.

Yoongi walked up to Jungkook and sat down beside him. "Hey there little guy, you alright?"

Jungkook nodded sadly, making little shapes on the dirt on the ground with his finger. "Yeah.. I-I just feel really useless right now."

"You're not useless, Jungkook. Don't think that way. Everyone's just on edge right now." Yoongi responded.

Jungkook looked up and then looked at Yoongi with glimmering eyes. "Do you need help with anything? Anything at all? Because I'll help. I-I feel dumb and wanna do something."

Yoongi sighed, taking a sip of his coffee, and then looking at Jungkook. "..Yeah I think there's something you can do for us."

-

"Sandwiches coming through!" Jungkook called out excitedly, rushing out of the ship and running onto the grounds of the planet with a plate full of sandwiches.

"You asked him to make us sandwiches?" Jimin asked Yoongi, who sipped his coffee silently. "When we have a whole machine that makes any food on our command?"

"Don't burst his bubble, Park." Yoongi said, and Jungkook smiled really big and placed the tray on a table they set up, right atop Namjoon's blueprint.

"Jungkook-" Namjoon started in annoyance, but then Jungkook pat his head. "You've been overworking again. Jin told you not to. So just take a break and eat something."

"...fine." Namjoon mumbled, and Yoongi, Jimin, and Hoseok walked towards Namjoon and Jungkook to grab a sandwich. Taehyung and Jin were back, and they were clutching the information packets in one hand, walking towards the boys.

Jungkook watched with anticipation as the boys each picked a sandwich up, Taehyung pecking Jungkook's cheek and grabbing one himself. Jungkook saw with big eyes as all of them took a bite.

"Oh damn, it's really good, Kook." Yoongi said.

"Yeah, it's amazing." Taehyung added.

"Oh that's great! I also made lemonade. I'm gonna go get it." Jungkook said with a smile, and then rushed back into the ship.

The moment he disappeared, all the boys spit the sandwich out of their mouths, practically throwing up. Jimin threw his sandwich a mile away and then fell to the floor, gasping fo breath.

"That's the worst fucking thing I've ever had," Jimin let out.

"Why.. why did he put so much mayo?" Jin groaned, looking into his sandwich and seeing mayonnaise dripping out.

"Mine has olives?? Just olives and that's it??" Hoseok said, disgusted, pieces of cut olives falling out of his sandwich.

"Mine literally has nothing in it." Yoongi said dryly. "It's literally just two pieces of bread. I don't know what to say."

"He's bringing lemonade and it's going to taste like fucking piss please stop him-" Namjoon told Taehyung, who sighed.

"It's not that bad, stop complaining." Taehyung said, and then Jimin glared at him. "Oh yeah? Take another bite then."

Taehyung wearily looked at his sandwich, and then dropped it to the ground and stepped on it. "Oh no I accidentally dropped it to the ground and stepped on it." Taehyung said with no hint of remorse and earned a glare.

Jungkook rushed out holding a pitcher of lemonade. "Guys!! I made lots of lemonade for all of you-" Jungkook started, and then looked around. "Why is Jimin on the floor.. and my sandwich under Taehyung's foot.."

"They suck. It tastes like ears." Jin said, and Jungkook stopped in his steps.

"Oh.." Jungkook mumbled, and then looked at the pitcher of lemonade in his hands, and placed it onto the table. "I-I was just trying it out. I can try again and make them better if you like-"

"No! No thanks! That's really nice of you, Kook, but honestly, we're fine. Instead! You can help clean up the ship? How's that sound?" Jimin said, and Jungkook looked hesitant.

"I-I wanted to help you guys." Jungkook said in a small voice, and then looked at Jimin. "I don't want to clean the ship and I don't want to make sandwiches. I-I wanna do the cool stuff." Jungkook said yearningly.

Upon hearing no response to his words, Jungkook grew angry. "Fine. Whatever." Jungkook snapped, and then grabbed the lemonade pitcher and threw it to the ground.

"Jungkook!" Hoseok snapped, agape, and then saw the firm stainless glass bounce on the floor, not break in half. The lemonade, however, spilled onto the ground. Jungkook walked over to the lemonade pitcher and kicked it.

"Jungkook stop that-" Taehyung called, and then grabbed Jungkook and pulled him back. Jungkook almost grew angry at him, but then heard Taehyung continue. "Do you guys see that?"

Taehyung was pointed to the ground. The lemonade spilled onto the black sand began boiling and evaporating into the air, hissing. All the boys frowned.

"Oh no." Namjoon said, getting up from his seat and rushing forward. He leaned down and touched the ground, and then hissed when it burnt his finger. "Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck-"

"What- what's wrong?" Jimin asked. Namjoon looked at the boys, pointing at the ground.

"T-this- this is bad. You know what this means, right?" Namjoon asked, and after hearing no response, Namjoon sighed. "It means the lava has reached the surface. And.. with how the ground has been rumbling for the past few days.. and with how hot it's been.. and now this.. it means-"

"The- the planet's going to explode?" Taehyung asked in a small voice.

All the boys' eyes grew wide, and Namjoon gulped. "Yep. And we'll be on it when it does." He said the last part dreadfully, and Jin raised his hand up in the air, fist clenched.

"No we won't!" Jin declared, and the boys looked at him. "Taehyung and I found something out! The lava on this planet is close to the fuel our ship requires!"

"Holy shit.." Yoongi trailed, and Jin nodded. Jungkook gasped. "Ooh! I-I wanna help get the lava! I'll get the lava, Namjoon! I'll get it and- and I'll put it into the ship-"

"We already got the lava, Jungkook." Taehyung reassured, and Jungkook's shoulders fell. "We found an open lava pool and transferred them into these transport barrels."

"Put it into the ship! We can get out of here-" Jimin stated excitedly, and Namjoon paused.

"Wait- there's no way those two barrels will be enough. Plus, from those recordings you took, I don't think the lava fuel will last nearly as long as that metallic one." Namjoon said, and then sighed. "We- we'll need more. Lots more."

"I have an idea!" Jungkook said, and the boys looked at him reluctantly, knowing it'll e more than rude to not hear it out.

"What?" Namjoon asked, and Jungkook grinned.

"What if we get all the fuel we need as the planet explodes? I mean, the person can get transported back onto the ship in an instant, right? So we just need someone to take in as much lava as they can and help the ship up." Jungkook said.

Everyone paused. Holy shit.

"Holy shit." Yoongi said, looking at Jungkook. "That's.. brilliant. It makes sense, too! In fact, it could give us enough fuel to last, like, forever-"

"Yeah. It's an amazing idea." Namjoon said, and Jungkook grinned really wide. "But way too risky. So we're not doing it."

"But Namjoon it's the only way we can-"

"Not if it hurts one of us." Namjoon snapped, and the boys tensed. "I don't care if we end up stranded on some other planet- we're not doing something that could potentially kill one of us."

"Okay." All of them said to Namjoon, who nodded curtly, and then turned around, going back to doing what he was.

"The dom jumped out." Jimin whispered to Jin, who glared at him to shut up.

-

Boom Crash. The sounds from the engine room made the entire ship shake.

"Fuck!" Hoseok's voice followed, and Jungkook sighed.

"Hoseok's gonna die." Jungkook said.

"Rip in peace." Yoongi stated calmly.

"Guys it's been like.. a whole lot of months back on our planet, right? Why aren't we getting any help? Do our families and friends not care about us? Who will we have when we return? Is this our doom? Our never ending torture, a prison of our manifestation-"

"Shut the fuck up Taehyung. There's more important shit going on." Jimin snapped, and then groaned, standing in the middle of the control center. "For instance, my pink hair is turning blonde."

"What a fucking cataclysm." Taehyung said, and Jimin glared at him. "Shut up big head."

"Ha! I dyed my hair permanently red when I was a kid, so it's never gonna fade away." Jungkook said cheekily, and Taehyung snapped his head towards him, eyes widening.

"Ha! Your and Taehyung's kid is gonna look like Todoroki." Yoongi said, and Jimin rolled his eyes.

"Shut the fuck up you weeb." Jimin snapped, and then Jungkook made a fake throwing up sound.

"Yuck- just talking about children scares me." Jungkook said, and then shuddered visibly.

"Why?" Taehyung asked in a small voice, and Jungkook laughed. "Commitment? Getting tied down? Having to take care of another entity- doesn't that shit scare you?"

Taehyung paused for a second, and then pursed his lips, humming. Jimin looked at Yoongi, both gulping awkwardly.

"Anyways... uhhh.. y'all wanna play Monopoly-"

"Actually, y'know, no. It doesn't scare me. Because when you really like someone, the thought of being with them shouldn't scare you." Taehyung said to Jungkook, who scoffed.

"Putting a label on my relationship with someone else does not equate to how much I care about them." Jungkook said, and Taehyung raised his brow. To explain further, Jungkook put it into words. "As in, I like you a lot, Tae. But we're not.. together together. You said it yourself."

"Even before we weren't together together, you already made up your mind in the kind of relationship you want," Taehyung snapped.

"Yeah, because I'm fucking 18 and have a whole life in front of me. Again, I like you a lot, Taehyung, but we're just temporary." Jungkook said, and Taehyung frowned.

"Temporary? Why do you think we'll be temporary?"

"Because I'm not even sure who I am yet, what makes you think I'll be sure who you are? Frankly, I don't know who you are, Tae. Because it feels like there's so much shit you're holding back from me, and I don't know why!" Jungkook said angrily.

"Bro.. they're fighting..." Jimin whispered to Yoongi, who gulped. Him and Jimin slowly got up and tried walking towards the door to get the fuck out.

"You wouldn't understand if I told you, Jungkook. You wouldn't-" Taehyung started, and Jungkook scoffed, letting out a laugh.

"Right. I wouldn't understand. Of course I wouldn't. Just say you think I'm stupid and go," Jungkook snapped and Taehyung closed his grey eyes for a second, taking a breath to calm himself down.

"Okay, Kookie, I think it's better if we talk about this in a civil manner." Taehyung said softly, because he didn't want Jungkook thinking he wasn't smart. Taehyung walked over to Jungkook and grabbed his hand firmly.

Jungkook let out a cry of pain, and Taehyung let his hand go in an instant. Jungkook fell back, crumbling to the floor. He grabbed his wrist, hand aching with excruciating pain.

"W-why do you keep hurting me?" Jungkook let out weakly, and Taehyung's eyes grew big with worry.

"No- Kookie, I-I-" Taehyung stammered, moving forward. Jungkook moved back fearfully.

"Just- g-go away!" Jungkook snapped, and when Taehyung took a step back, the pain in Jungkook's hand only grew stronger.

Jungkook felt tears fall down his cheeks, felt the emptiness in his stomach grow further as Taehyung looked conflicted on what to do. Taehyung saw a silver erupt from the middle of Jungkook's hand, growing over his hand like veins latching out.

Jungkook started crying, body shaking, not knowing what to do. Taehyung stepped closer, and Jungkook looked at him from his tears. "S-stop h-h-hurting me," Jungkook squeaked out, and Taehyung got on his knees in front of him.

"Give me your hands," Taehyung said, and Jungkook shook his head. "I-I'll be gentle, I promise."

Jungkook reached his hands out in hesitancy, and saw Taehyung touch them feathery tips, and then reached forward, pressing small kisses to his hands.

The pain didn't go. The silver didn't go. Taehyung looked up at Jungkook, whose eyes were closed, little whimpers leaving his mouth.

"Open your eyes." Taehyung whispered, and Jungkook did slowly. Taehyung leaned forward, clasping their lips together. Jungkook was reluctant at first, but then opened his mouth, allowing Taehyung to enter.

Taehyung grabbed him steadily by the waist, and Jungkook felt the pain in his hands wither away. Their lips entangled heatedly, and Taehyung's tongue felt the inside of Jungkook's mouth. Jungkook reached his hands up to Taehyung's collar, pulling him in, kissing him harder, feeling steadier as they continued kissing.

"Hey did y'all stop fighting-" Jimin started, walking into the room. ".......nevermind." Jimin mumbled, turning around and walking out, mumbling something about mood swings under his breath.

Taehyung finally pulled away from Jungkook, both breathing heavily. Jungkook tucked his head in the crevice of Taehyung's neck. "P-please- please fuck me- p-please," Jungkook cried out softly.

"You-" Taehyung started, pulling away to look at him. "You want to-"

"I-I want you inside me, please," Jungkook begged, eyes gleaming. "I-I don't know what's come over me, I just- I need, I need it, please-"

"Okay- yeah, okay." Taehyung said quickly, reaching down to lift Jungkook up, holding him like he was made of glass. Taehyung carried him outside the control room, but once they entered the hallway, Jungkook gripped Taehyung's shoulders.

"Af-after you fuck me," Jungkook whispered, and then let his breath longer on Taehyung's neck. "Can you tell me what it is that you've been hiding from me?"

Taehyung paused for a second, and then looked up at Jungkook, whose lips traced themselves upon Taehyung's.

"Alright." Taehyung whispered into his mouth, and Jungkook hummed.
